[CS:S HELP] thirdperson

Branddddd · **Author**

Hi,

I've been trying to enable thirdperson mode for players in our server. I've tried scripting it:

SetEntPropEnt(client, Prop_Send, "m_hObserverTarget", 0);
SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_iObserverMode", 1);
SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_bDrawViewmodel", 0);
SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_iFOV", 120);

This works, but it messes up camera movements. Basically it will go to thirdperson camera view, but the mouse doesn't move the camera anymore, only the player model moves.

I've also tried to allow players to use the 'cheat' command "thirdperson" in console, but it doesn't work either. I do not want to enable sv_cheats 1.

Any help would be appreciated!

something like this. it not tested

Code:

// List of Includes
#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools>

// The code formatting rules we wish to follow
#pragma semicolon 1
#pragma newdecls required

// Global Handles
bool Third[MAXPLAYERS+1];

public void OnPluginStart()
{
RegAdminCmd("sm_tp", Command_TP, ADMFLAG_GENERIC);
}

public Action Command_TP(int client, int args)
{
	Toggle(client);
}

public void OnClientPutInServer(int client)
{
	Third[client] = false;
}

void Toggle(int client)
{
	if(!Third[client])
	{
		SetEntPropEnt(client, Prop_Send, "m_hObserverTarget", 0);
		SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_iObserverMode", 1);
		SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_bDrawViewmodel", 0);
		SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_iFOV", 120);
		Third[client] = true;
	}
	
	else
	{
		SetEntPropEnt(client, Prop_Send, "m_hObserverTarget", client);
		SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_iObserverMode", 0);
		SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_bDrawViewmodel", 1);
		SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_iFOV", 90);
		Third[client] = false;
	}
}

		Third[client] = false;
	}
}

This is almost the same code as I posted above (except you used 'client'). I've tried your code but it's still the same problem, it gives me thirdperson but the camera doesn't move when aiming with mouse, just the player model moves.

!fov = change fov

oqyh, your code leads to a memory leak: the menu handle either needs to be created once when the plugin starts, or the handle must be closed when the menu is closed.

It's better to do something like this:

PHP Code:


			
#pragma semicolon 1
#pragma newdecls required

#include <sdktools>

Handle
    m_tpa;
Menu
    hMenu;
int
    iFOV[MAXPLAYERS+1] = {90, ...};

public void OnPluginStart() 
{
    m_tpa = FindConVar("sv_allow_thirdperson");

    HookEvent("player_spawn", Event_PlayerSpawn);

    RegConsoleCmd("sm_fov", Cmd_FovMenu);

    hMenu = new Menu(Menu_FOV, MenuAction_Display);
    hMenu.SetTitle("Set FOV (90°):");
    hMenu.AddItem("", "Current\n ");
    hMenu.AddItem("", "+30°");
    hMenu.AddItem("", "-30°\n ");
    hMenu.AddItem("", "Reset to 90°");
}

public void OnClientDisconnect(int client)

    iFOV[client] = 90;
}

public void Event_PlayerSpawn(Event hEvent, const char[] weaponName, bool bDontBroadcast)

    if(client && IsClientInGame(client) && IsPlayerAlive(client))
    {
        if(m_tpa) SetConVarInt(m_tpa, 1);
        ClientCommand(client, "thirdperson");
        SetClientFOV(client, 120);
    }
}

    SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_iFOV", fov);
    SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_iDefaultFOV", fov);
}

I appreciate the replies but sv_allow_thirdperson doesn't exist in Counter-Strike:Source, otherwise I would have utililized this already..

Any bright soul that got a solution for this? Sorry for bumping but it has been almost a week :p

Alienmario · 01-28-2023 , 13:52 Re: [CS:S HELP] thirdperson

You may have to settle with enabling client-side cheats. This means players will be able to use some rendering overrides and potentially see through things, but not change anything on the server. The original thirdperson by Dr. McKay used this method.

Knock Knock · 04-21-2023 , 04:44 Re: [CS:S HELP] thirdperson

You probably need to run the "mp_forcecamera" "0" for the server, along with “SendConVarValue(client,mp_forcecamera, "0")”.
This will allow your model to be fixed, looking fwd.
.
If you want to move the model from its default position, try playing around with "m_vecViewOffset".
.
I managed to get it going on here :-
steam://connect/109.123.108.128:20015
(say tp , to toggle )
Whilst it is a really just a 'fun' mode, as it can still be a bit quirky.
.
.
include this in your plugin :-
-------------------------------------------------------------------
new Handle:mp_forcecamera;
new Float:Ori[3];
//
public OnPluginStart()
{
mp_forcecamera = FindConVar("mp_forcecamera");
if(!mp_forcecamera){SetFailState("Failed to locate mp_forcecamera");}
ServerCommand("mp_forcecamera","0");
}

public Put_PlayerInThirdperson(client)
{
SendConVarValue(client,mp_forcecamera, "0");
SetEntPropEnt(client, Prop_Send, "m_hObserverTarget", client);
SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_iObserverMode", 1);
SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_bDrawViewmodel", 0); // This can be 0 or 1 - I cant tell the difference TBH.
Client_SetFOV(client, 96);
GetEntPropVector(client, Prop_Data, "m_vecViewOffset", Ori); // Get View offset of player
Ori[0] += 10.0;
Ori[1] += 15.0;
SetEntPropVector(client, Prop_Data, "m_vecViewOffset", Ori); // Set View offset of player
PrintToChat(client, "Thirdperson Enabled"); // Inform Client
Third[client] = true;
return;
}

public Put_PlayerInFirstPerson(client)
{
SetEntPropEnt(client, Prop_Send, "m_hObserverTarget", client);
SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_iObserverMode", 0);
SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_bDrawViewmodel", 1);
Client_SetFOV(client, 96);
PrintToChat(client, "Firstperson Enabled"); // Inform Client
Third[client] = false;
return;
}
.
